According to the office, between 2018 and 2024, the Kushtov brothers acquired a significant amount of expensive property, including real estate and cars, and also spent large sums on personal needs.
Assets registered to third parties include apartments in Moscow, land plots with houses in North Ossetia, an apartment in Magas, and Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, GMC, and BMW vehicles.
